Start: Just started using Beancount this month. Yeah! We get paid once a month. Usually a day or five before the 1st of the month (depending on weekends, etc). So our month starts with the paycheck and goes to the next and need to live within that.Either way, I need to make a monthly expense report for a previous month and to be able to run it at any time within the middle of the current month.
I will need to break out various expenses:. tithing (currently set up as a Liability). Savings (money moved out to other accounts). Housing (mortgage, upkeep, savings to replace furnature, etc). Utilities (keep the lights on). Insurance. etc, etc, etcJust to see where the money is going. And a custom report is the way to go.... Either way, I am searching around the various given reports and learning curve is there.
Where would I put a custom report? are there any examples (maybe a series of scripted query statements?)? and where would I get some help with my first report?
--Thank you.Craig A.

I think I see what you want to do, I got the same issue to some level.I got my mobile bill that is unfortunately set to be on the 31 somehow and so sometime it cross month boundaries.So in my report for some month no mobile payment and the next one 2 mobile payment.I dont want to tag nor cheat on the posting date. So I just live with it ;)Maybe we need an optional "Bill period date"??Ex:PostingDate BillDate2016-10-01 2016-09-30 * "MobilePhone"And have the ability to query on either Posting or Billing dates??
